Free Music Friday! Old-school drama from Brendan Benson

Brendan Benson, both as a solo act as a member of the Raconteurs, is best known for his catchy power-pop songs built around guitar riffs.

Today's track, "Bad For Me," still evokes a whiff of 1970s rock, but from a slightly different direction. It's a big piano ballad in the vein of early Elton John or Eric Carmen. Don't hold that against him, though. The song is strong.

As reported last month by the Nashville Tennassean, Benson's fifth studio album, "What Kind of World," will be released on Benson's website on April 21 and through stores on April 24.
